I would like to join the Catholic Church

If you believe Jesus Christ is calling you to join the Catholic Church, we invite you to reach out to us, so we accompany you on this journey. Father Evan Simington will talk with you on how to take the next step with the Fellowship of St. Alban.

Entry into the Catholic Church involves one of two different processes for adults. If you're not already a baptized Christian, the Church requires you to go through a period of preparation called the catechumenate, or the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults. Catechumens once their formation is complete typically enter the Church at the Easter Vigil.

If you're a baptized Christian who wants to come into full communion with the Catholic Church, the process is different than RCIA, and can happen at any point in the year once your formation is complete.

The Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter is realizing the dream of ecumenism by providing a home for Christians from the Anglican/Episcopalian, Methodist, and African Methodist Episcopal tradition in the Catholic Church. Anyone from these traditions, who is considering joining the Catholic Church, are encouraged to reach out to Father Evan about taking the next step.
